What skin do you use?

Postby **Tommy** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 1:53 pm

I normally use Lite, but I just switched back to Heavy and realized Heavy looks a LOT cooler. I switch back so I can use chat though.

I just stay in lite for chat but i agree, heavy is way cooler.

I have been missing this for a long time! I forgot how good it looked. Stares at the coolness...

light, ever since the forced switch due to bandwith concerns and due to chat compatibility issues

Postby **bigsleepj** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 10:09 pm

Light is better.

It just is.

XDD All of you. It's "lite" not "light"

and the other isn't "heavy" it's "Default"

I use Lite because of the chat, and the dark skin is too slow for my tastes. It looks cool and everything, but I'm trying to help out with bandwidth and stuff.

I generally use pasty white, but sometimes I go for a deep tan when I've been out in the sun long enough... heh

Actually, i use Lite... I forgot the other ones existed, as lite is the default skin now (used to be the original)

I honestly dont' see how lite is faster... What's faster about it? Isn't it just a different color scheme?

The dark skin is VERY image-heavy, while the Lite skin doesn't have that many images to load at all.

I like the dark skin, but I use Lite.

Wow you're right, the dark really is cool o.o I haven't used it in sooooo long. I've gotten so used to the lite, but I think I'm gonna use heavy for a while.

I've always used Default! ^^

I just changed into CAA Lite, but I think I'll change back.. I like the darker better..

Prior to this, I was not aware that there were even skins. You see how tech-less I am?

I just switched to dark. It's ... DARK. I like dark.

Postby **Silent Hunter** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 3:42 am

I much prefer the Lite skin. I despise really dark websites.

Postby **TurkishMonky** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 3:46 am

O.o.... you guys switch skins?
i've kept my newborned skin my whole life. switching would be......painful.
ouch.

Postby **KBMaster** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 6:21 am

TurkishMonkey.... I LOVE YOUR AVATAR! SQUEE!

I use the dark skin. I was using Lite, but I don't really go to the chat anymore, so I switched back. I forgot how much I loved it. *huggles dark skin*

Postby **agasfas** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 6:38 am

I perfer the Default skin. Not only does it look better I think it's much easier on my eyes. ^_^

I honestly prefer the dark but I stick with the light 'cause I'm too lazy to switch back everytime I want to use the chat.

Thanks, Tom. You've managed to single handedly slow the connection down by 9%.

We left the heavy skin up for compatability reasons, but the lite skin was used to solve a serious bandwidth issue. It doesn't have a lot of the really large graphics files which, while very cool, take up quite a bit more bandwidth each time a user views a page.

Postby **Raiden no Kishi** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 6:58 am

I use Lite myself, so that I don't waste bandwidth. 'Tisn't nice. ^_^

Speaking of other skin . . . being an albino would be pretty neat.

I use Lite all the time because of the Chat. I LOVE Heavy... but it's just too much work switching back and forth. I'm lazy :sweat:

Postby **uc pseudonym** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 2:02 pm

Lite. I switched back when bandwidth was a bigger issue and I don't really care about how the site looks provided it functions.

That's not a real statistic, is it?

I never knew there was a dakrer one. I'm using it now, but I'm about to go switch back to Lite.

Postby **TriezGamer** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 10:04 pm

I vastly prefer the darker skin

Postby **Kaligraphic** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 10:49 pm

I use human skin for most of my bookbinding, but dragon skin for the most powerful of my arcane tomes.

Wait, that wasn't what you meant?

Oh, okay, I use lite.

Postby **Yahshua** » Wed Jun 21, 2006 11:10 am

I used the old default skin however since the chat only works with the lite skin I have been since then switch to it.

I don't get what you mean by that.

When you use the dark skin, you request graphics from Mith's server to make it look nice. The Lite skin doesn't have those graphics, so it is less of a strain on his server.

In other words, by making this thread and telling people who didn't know about the dark skin that it exists (and them switching), his server is forced to work harder to send out the graphic requests for that skin.

This results in CAA being slowed down. Thus, you have single handedly reduced CAA's speed by 9% by having more users request these graphics.

I use whatever I started with....since I've been here 2 years I THINK it's default but maybe not? Chu's on Lite tho since she's new.
